Gluten-free desserts are sweet treats made without gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. These desserts cater to individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, allowing them to enjoy delicious options without adverse effects. Common gluten-free ingredients include almond flour, coconut flour, and rice flour. Many popular desserts can be adapted to be gluten-free, such as brownies, cookies, and cakes. By using alternative flours and other gluten-free ingredients, bakers can create satisfying and flavorful desserts that everyone can enjoy, regardless of dietary restrictions.
